Thank you Bevan. I sure do appreciate the kind comments that you and others have left. The necklace is made from the hides I got and yep, I have more hides that I have not even got into yet. My work will not be the same as LAF. But it will be quite close. I think anyway. I did post on my site the how to plait this plait. It is more of an article/tutorial. Here's the link if you, or anyone else is interested, 12 strand rectangular plait - Luis Alberto Flores Technique B...

Well thank you. I sure do appreciate the compliment. I also was thinking a nice silver cross would do the trick to. Then I remembered that blue green rock stuff. I'd like to find a silver cross with that inside the cross and just the right size for the necklace. I'm hoping that this one is mine this time. LOL... B...

Good idea. I will use on certain occasions Pecards leather dressing. A little bit of that goes a long ways. B...

The rawhide tends to take better to the dyes. Where as with the kangaroo it takes a bit longer to get that all the way through the skin dyed effect. I tested a natural piece of kangaroo and it took about 2 or 3 days just for the color to stay on the surface. So the natural dye like I have been using on the horse hide does not work out too well with kangaroo. I know that a dye for leather will work better. I have not tried rite dye on any natural kangaroo hide yet. One of my next experiments on the table to do. LOL... I did notice that the orange in your photo turned out really nice. It almost takes on the color of Saddle Tan. A tad bit darker and it would almost look exactly like a Saddle Tan, which is one of my favorite colors in leather. B...

Too bad you thought it was whining that you thought I was doing. It is a question !!!! or did you not read it correctly? I was intrigued by your work.

is not understanding why anyone would want to cover there work with a watermark. While I understand the reason for it, I do not comprehend why so damn large a watermark.

It is so the images cannot easily be copied/pirated [1], and it showcases Tina's website in no uncertain terms (as it well should!) [2]

I would have started dropping strands out of the braid at about 12in from the end of the quirt. Dropping 2 strings at a time till you reached the end where then it should be down to a minimum of 4 strings or even 8 strings. But that's me and how I would have handled that. B...

12 strand rectangular plait all in Kangaroo. Got the sequence from a book by Luis Alberto Flores. 18in necklace with .925 Sterling Mag Clasp and Tibetan Silver End Caps. This one is not quite done yet. I am sitting and trying to figure out what else I need to do to it to make it pop some more. Oh well. Decisions... B...

Hey Joe. You were close on the web address. http://www.leathercraftersjournal.com/ I think it would interesting to publish something through the LCSJ since the last known location that I know of for Tom Hall was in WY somewhere on a ranch. B...

Without the sharing of a knowledge there would be no art or craft that we so enjoy to be seen, or shared at all. This is what makes the journey possible for all who apply themselves to this art and craft for the learning and enjoyment of this art and craft. B...

Thank you for your kind comment. What's the LCSJ? I would love to write up an article about this knot and how I came about it. I could share most of the instructions. I have 2 grids that mount to a mandrel to make this knot with. So I know I will be able to share those also. B...

This is a side by side. I wanted to show this to say that this is where I got the inspiration from to do this crazy knot. B...

That's okay Brad. No problem. I wonder WTH is wrong with kids these days? Torching an office? Is that all these unfocused twits can do these days is be destructive? I wonder if someone should have shot their parents for creating more stupid people. They spawn like rabbits. I bet those kids will be workin that off for quite a while. Oh well, nough of my rant.

I did a small tutorial/article on it. The sequence is as follows, Just like doing a round plait, you will always pass the strand around the back side going, U2, O1, U1, O2 Next side U2, O1, U1, O2 It will be the same sequence on the other side. Here's the link to my tutorial/article, 12 Strand Rectangular Plait Tutorial B...

Hey all. Here's a link to how to do that rectangular plait.

I used some lacquer for leather to harden the leather up so it would hold the form better than on its own. I sprayed 2 coats on the outside and 4 coats on the inside of the bell. Hardened up real nice and holding form for the moment. B...
